Forward an entire mbx-formatted INBOX to another user

Asked by the_griz in SendMail Email Server, Linux Administration, Red Hat Linux

Tags: Linux, Mbx INBOX

When a person is fired, another person usually takes over their responsibilities (and needs their recent incoming emails).  When this happens, I need to forward all of a user's mbx-formatted INBOX email messages to another existing user.  

Is there a Linux command line function to get each message to the "new"?

System: Red Hat Linux RHEL v4
Mailserver: Sendmail

I have tried:

cat /home/<fired user>/INBOX | formail -s sendmail <new-user>@company.com

with no luck.  I show this as an example of what I hope to get.

Thanks!
